Relationship Discernment Intensive™ — Facilitator Guide
Guide people through one of the most consequential decisions of their lives — with clarity, pastoral care, and full preparation.
⚠ Facilitators only — not for participant distribution.
The Relationship Discernment Intensive covers territory that is deeply personal, spiritually weighty, and occasionally emotionally raw — discernment distortions, self-inventory honesty, previous relationship patterns, the wholeness vs. need question. Facilitating it well requires more than knowing the content. This guide gives you the full framework to lead it with pastoral authority and the specific preparation the material requires.
